BE ME breaks introduce your nervous system to what it’s like to feel different… better… more settled… safer… therefore more open, available, present, curious, engaged, and energized.
BE ME is an acronym for the Body, Emotional Mental and Essence realms of our experience.
BE ME Breaks are like meditation on a supercharger! By using your body, you're harnessing the power of your whole BEing, gut heart and head aligned on the same team. These small, simple actions have a powerful impact on the nervous system. By practicing 1-2 minutes 5 x / day, you can down shift your nervous system from a state of stress to calm. These practices help interrupt the cycle of chronic tension, allowing your body to reset and build resilience over time. Consistent practice can rewire your nervous system, making you more adaptable to stress and better equipped to handle life’s challenges with a sense of ease and balance.
How do you want to "BE ME"?
I've created the BE ME series to remind us to embrace all the aspects of who we are at the core of our BEing.
These animal images embody emotions and characteristics that we as humans share, but in our overly busy world, we sometimes need to remind ourselves of.
Animals are authentically and unapologetically themselves 100% of the time, and look how much we love them!
What part of your BEingness do you want to celebrate? What part needs support?
You are embarking on an amazing journey!
Use these free BE ME phone wallpapers as an invitation to take a BE ME break.
Come home to yourself, align your body, and shift your mindset, so you can LIVE the next moment intentionally, and authentically.
Your phone is in your hand, constantly demanding and dividing your attention with every text, email, call, game, app, news...
Why not use it as a tool to intentionally cultivate Beingness, rather than an instrument of distraction that creates anxiety and overwhelm?
In a world that rewards going, doing, achieving, performing, producing, and fitting in, BE ME breaks are the antidote.

BEing AWE-some ME
Seeking, celebrating, and book-marking those moments when we feel literally moved by nature, music, or acts of human kindness, resiliency, or bravery. You know.. the moments when a tingle runs down up your spine, feel the hair on your body stand up, or you’re moved to tears…
AWE is a powerful emotion that stimulates the vagus nerve, and deactivates our default mode of survival and being singularly focused. When experiencing AWE we feel connected to the world at large, and more deeply in tune with to ourselves. Intentionally practicing AWE actually improves your health and well being.
Give yourself the gift of noticing and appreciating the wonder, mystery, and beauty of world that surrounds you.
Bring on the goose bumps!

BEing grateful ME
Intentionally cultivating, harvesting, and relishing the positive emotions you have about the people, places, pets, experiences, opportunities, and privileges in your life…but that’s just part of the story.
The most important part of BEING grateful is FEELING grateful. That means noticing and embracing the felt sense of gratefulness in your body. How does your heart feel when you think of someone you’re grateful for? Is there a spontaneous deep breath? Do you feel more expansive in your chest? Is there a sense of warmth? Does your whole body relax?
Noticing and “planting” the felt sense of how your body responds to BEING grateful deepens your experience and makes it more palpable so it sticks with you through your day. Over time this practice will help you LIVE moment to moment as a Grateful BEING…
Way to live!
